TL;DR: It is shown that the azo group is reductively cleaved in cells under hypoxia, enabling production of 1O2 to occur, and this simple and practical azo-based strategy should be widely applicable to design a range of activatable photosensitizers.

TL;DR: It is found that the first moment of low-frequency Kerr spectrum correlates to the square root of surface tension divided by density, indicating that heavy atom substitution in ionic liquids provides a weaker interionic interaction arising from the larger ionic volume.

TL;DR: In this paper, the ultrafast dynamics of forty aprotic molecular liquids were studied by femtosecond optical heterodyne-detected Raman-induced Kerr effect spectroscopy.

TL;DR: Compared the interionic/intermolecular vibrational dynamics of ionic liquids (ILs) and concentrated electrolyte solutions measured by femtosecond optically heterodyne-detected Raman-induced Kerr effect spectroscopy, the comparison based on the first moment of the interdimensional vibrational spectrum suggests the stronger interionics/interMolecular interaction in the concentrated electrolye solutions than the ILs.

TL;DR: This work examined the excited-state structural evolution and the ESPT dynamics within the dephasing time of the low-frequency vibration of GFP, and found a clear anharmonic vibrational coupling between one high-frequency mode of the chromophore and a low- frequencies at ∼104 cm(-1).
